Even Republicans should be able to recognize their mistake. The House of Representatives is there to represent the people, not one Party or special interests, but the people of each individual district in this nation. Moreso than the Senate or the Presidency, it is necessary to be speaking for the people at large. It is where laws are passed and money is appropriated for programs that we all need.
We have no choice but to struggle thru the next two years before we have the opportunity to change the House of Representatives. A Republican President can arguably do less damage, notwithstanding Geoge W Bush, than can a Republican House. As Americans, not as Democrats or Republicans, we need to put the House in Democratic hands, and let them fight it out for the Senate and the Presidency.
This is just my opinion, but we can all see the damage and the gridlock caused by a Republican House. That is the problem. It will not be fixed until we change it.
